In an interview at the end of the ordinary session, the senator from Morena, who has been a promoter of the regulation of the recreational, medicinal and industrial use of the plant, stated that the intention to specify it has existed for “a long time. Hopefully we can legislate it next week.”
However, the senator from Morena also considered it viable that this regulation be issued at least before the end of this year.
Since 2015, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) began the analysis of the issue by granting protection to 4 people and ordering the Federal Commission against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris) to prohibit the Ministry of Health from issuing authorizations for self-consumption for fun or recreational purposes.
#What happened to the regulation of marijuana?
Since then to date, it has issued other sentences and warrants, in order for Congress to regulate the modalities of the recreational, medicinal and industrial use of marijuana.
Sánchez Cordero reported that there are already agreements in the Senate – where a minute from the Chamber of Deputies on the subject is frozen – regarding recreational use, and there are only differences regarding the age allowed for acquisition and consumption.
